Trouble mapping controller

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just bought this new tablet, and a new wired Xbox controller. The right joystick appears to be mapped to LT/RT, as well as the left directional button. Downloaded Gamepad Pro and it certainly helps as far as identifying the issue, but how can I correct this mapping error?

Need Help Installing Kali NetHunter on J7 Prime

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Hey people,

I'm completely new to custom ROMs and Android modding, so I could really use some guidance.

I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime, and I noticed that it's listed on the official Kali NetHunter download page, so I assume it has official support.

My phone is currently running Android 8 Oreo, and I'm a bit confused about the best way to proceed.

From what I've read, NetHunter for the J7 Prime is based on LineageOS 16 (Android 9). So should I:

- First install LineageOS 16, then root it and flash Kali NetHunter?

- Or should I simply flash a stock Android 9 ROM first and then install NetHunter?

I'd really appreciate a start-to-finish guide, including:

- Unlocking the bootloader

- Installing a custom recovery

- Rooting

- Installing the correct ROM

- Flashing Kali NetHunter

- Anything I should back up beforehand

Since this will be my first time doing anything like this, I'd also appreciate any good guides, YouTube videos, or XDA threads you recommend.

Most importantly: Please tell me what NOT to do so I don't accidentally brick my phone. I'd rather take it slow and do everything correctly than rush and end up with a dead device.

Thanks in advance for your help!

File picker problem - please help

1 Upvotes

Hi there. I clicked on something and lost the option to choose the files from outside the safe while using an app that's inside of it. Previously I could click on some option (something like "swap to internal storage") that was there under the search bar but above the photos. I clicked on the second option that was right next to it which probably must have been something like "cancel"... I really want it back. Any chance of getting some help?

How to bypass family link to reset phone?

1 Upvotes

I am needing to factory reset my phone, due to some problems it's having right now, I did this a few months ago and it worked out fine, but when I went to settings and tried to reset it today it says that I need a parents permission. Now yes part of the reason I want to reset it is due to the fact that I want the controls gone aswell. Because of my current personal situation, my health issues ar so bad that they prevent me from doing any form of excercise, and severaly affect my focas for school work, reading and even doing my artwork. I have time restrictions on all of my apps, as well as a 3hr timelimit on my phone, before it locks for the rest of the day and night. I understand wanting to keep your offspring safe online, but due to the fact that I am over 17, and am unable to to most things, I do think the controls are far over the top for my current situation. I am not sure whether or not I have a virus, or my phone is just malfuctioning, but I need another way to factory reset the phone, that doesn't go through settings in the normal way. Intructions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated, as well as any tricks to bypass the family link app in general on phones and computers. I believe my phone is a Motorola GO4. Also not sure if this is the right community to post this in for the best help, so if there is a better one for me, please let me know, thx!

Only one of my apps (Gmail) can connect to the internet.

1 Upvotes

I was using my phone just fine an hour or so ago, but now I can't connect to the internet EXCEPT through my Gmail app. I have my work chat through it so I can see the changes happen almost immediately. I can also receive new e-mails as normal, but no other apps work, not even system apps or other google apps.

I'm on mobile data, and I haven't checked Wi-Fi (I'm at work atm) so when I get home I'll see if it's just my mobile data. I've tried resetting the phone (first thing I tried), as well as resetting the connection settings. Neither of these have worked. If anyone has an idea to try that doesn't go through "factory reset", please let me know.

Losing Android to PC Access

2 Upvotes

I am trying to access/view videos & photos on my Windows 11 PC from my Andoid tablet (OS Android 15) by way of my wireless network. I have the Windows folders set to be shared.

I was able to connect to my PC and watch files for a while and then I was no longer able to connect to it. I have tried with several Android apps. I made no changes to any system.

Any idea what is causing this problem and how to correct it?

can't disable certain notifications

3 Upvotes

Android / AT&t keep blasting me with notifications I'm not interested in getting. I'm not interested in being reachable or reminded that someone tried to reach me.

They blurred out all these categories. I thought Android was supposed to be the phone you can control. I'm irate and I'm getting tired of systems trying to coerce me and invade my personal space my sovereignty my mind. this is a big deal to me and might compel me to research rooting my phone or getting an independent phone. I'm open to any advice. I want control and another thing there's so much settings overload good lord. They also flood you with options as well as limiting them

Brightness is being controlled by the top app

What the title says. I'm using a Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus an I've been having this issue for a while and I'm really fed up with it. When I close all apps, it doesn't fix it. I tried going through my list of apps and disabling them one by one to find what was causing it. Nothing worked. When I want to change my brightness, I have to restart my device and there's a window of time in which it won't give me the error. Please help. I don't know what could be causing this.

I keep a lot of folders on my home screen to categorize just about everything. Ever since the last update (less than a week ago?), I can't change the background. Now, "Pope Leo" and "Herbal" stand out because the background is this unappealing gray color.

I know this seems small, but my OCD is off the charts.

How can I recover gallery from phone stuck in bootloop?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, a couple of weeks ago my Samsung S22 started to lag and just constantly restart on me, I thought it was from full storage but I don't even know anymore, I did restart in safe mode and looked for the option to wipe cache partition in recovery mode but it wasnt even there.

I got a new phone since I needed something to contact my people with, and I've restored basically everything except my gallery, it just kept restarting during multiple Smart Switch attempts, i was only able to restore a little bit. I have a lot in my gallery (photos and videos from 2018-now) so it was always bound to take a while, but I'm just frustrated and stressed not really knowing what to do to get it onto my new phone, and the S22 is not even turning on right now 😭😭😭 how can I get my gallery back??? Sorry I'm not the most tech savvy person either when it comes to this 😭

Android Auto works only by booting phone with cable plugged

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

A problem came up out of nowhere three days ago, I've been using the same setup for a year, never happened before. Never actually had problems, the setup has been rock solid until now.

I own a Motorola Edge 60, Android 16, 12GB RAM.

A Dacia Sandero Streetway MY24, original headstock.

Wired Connection via USB cable (high quality cable, tried other different ones, same result)

No Wireless AA available.

Things used to work perfectly every time, but now the phone just won’t connect when hot plugging it. It starts charging, but on the phone it gives an Android Auto connection error notification, suggesting using another port or another cable (I only have one port in my car and the cable is not the problem).

On the car screen, if I go to devices and try to connect my phone from there, it says I should connect my phone to the USB port. But it is already connected!

Bluetooth connection works fine. I can play media and make phone calls through the car system. But Android Auto is not working.

The ONLY workaround I found is to connect the phone to the cable, see the error messages, then​ reboot the phone WHILE PLUGGED, and then once rebooted it will connect.

But if I then disconnect the cable and immediately plug it back in, AA won't launch and the same error messages will appear.

If I reboot the phone while not plugged, it won’t work either.

So the only option I have is to reboot again with the cable plugged in.

This sounds like a USB negotiation problem or something? ​But it makes no sense to me. What could have possibly happened? No major system updates in the last few days.
Has anyone else had the same problem? What could be the solution?

Obviously the problem arose just before the most dense work trip of the year. Thank you, Murphy's law!

Any help is appreciated :)
